2. Fold the papers in half corner to corner to make triangles.

3. Place the triangles on the table so that the long sides are on the bottom.

4. Fold one corner across to the other side so that the top line of the corner is parallel to the bottom of the triangle and the point touches the other side of the triangle.

5. Fold the opposite corner over the first corner so that it touches the opposite side and is parallel to the bottom of the triangle.

6. Fold the top tabs backward and forward and then fold one side into the cup shape and fold the other side into the side flap.

7. Punch a hole in the large cup shape near the short end. Punch a hole on the back side of the medium cup near the middle of the long side. Attach the large cup shape to the inside of the medium cup shape using a brass fastener.

8. To make the Christmas tree do the same thing to attach the top green cup to the middle cup.

9. To make the snowman punch a hole in the front of the head cup where you want the nose. Punch a hole in the top of the middle cup at the short end. Attach the head to the body with a brass fastener. Cut boot shapes from black paper and punch holes at the top of the boots and on the inside, bottom of the tree. Attach the feet to the tree with brass fasteners. Glue a carrot shape to the brass fastener on the head.
